I think in Europe this is gonna get way more worse than in China.
I'm a couple hundred km from the Italian border, we already have almost 400 confirmed cases, and people are still not wearing masks, but are still coughing and sneezing on you. And the authorities don't even want to close the Italian border.

And I'm not even gonna get into how most people are spreading infos like "masks are useless anyway!", "this is just like the flu", and other normie tier take on the first pandemic in over a century.

Russia is not fucking around.
sorry if late
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Moscow city authorities threatened prison terms of up to five years on Sunday for people failing to self-isolate in their homes for two weeks after visiting countries hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak.

The city government had announced a “high alert regime” and imposed extra measures on Thursday to prevent a spread of the illness in the Russian capital.

Those who return from China, South Korea, Iran, France, Germany, Italy and Spain and other states showing possible “unfavorable” signs of coronavirus should self-isolate themselves at home for 14 days, Moscow city hall has said.

The Moscow healthcare department said on Sunday that those disregarding the regulation risked severe punishment including imprisonment of up to five years.

It said authorities would be checking self-isolation through use of closed circuit TV cameras.

In an information sheet, the department said it was OK for residents in self-isolation to walk their dog, but at a time when there are fewest people in the streets, and wearing a face mask.

There have been 15 cases of coronavirus infections reported in Russia so far.
 
Hold that thought.


The ENTIRE US yield curve dipped below 1%. All bonds are expected to return less than 1%.

Something's not right...

I don't know what this means, but given that the number went down by 2000 today, that's bad, right?

What the hell is this? Some sort of satire?

The Root is like the Daily Stormer, but for racist as fuck dindunuffins. But you're not allowed to call them racist, because they redefined racism to exclude black racists.
 
The whole country is in lockdown, effective immediately. Hm. Guess I'll stay home and play videogames.
Be grateful you have a responsible government. This would not be happening if they did not know something.

100 years ago, it was common knowledge that China is the source of all great plagues. The fact markets have operated as long as they have without running into this reality is a miracle.

Just remember you are descended from people who survived previous plagues, you will get through this as well. Figure out ways to help in your community, don't just sit around playing COD all day. It's a plague, it's a time when heroes are made.
 
You want to be tested and effectively quarantined because you were in a big event with a known plague carrier? You better know the password or else.

These testing requirements are insane. That Bloomberg stream made sense for once.

BRB mass emailing all the attendees and offering to sell them the name for 10k. Those rich fuckers will pay and then I'll tell them it was that bastard Seymore Butts.
I don't see why he's so worked up about the tail wagging the dog RE USA-Israeli relations. Iran didn't mind Israel acting as the go-between between our nations during Iran-Contra arms deals. If our situations were reversed, they would do the same thing to us that we do to them. This is realpolitik, emotions are a liability and making arguments about justice and feelings is either naive or insincere.


Markets go up and joe sixpack eats shit, markets go down and joe sixpack eats shit. Why should we care about some rich fucks on the coasts when we don't benefit either way?
I'd be fine with all the corporate meetings if they did that shit AFTER getting the testing sorted. As it stands that shit is a slap in the face for all us peasants.
Because hoarding toilet paper is autistic.

You'd think these dumbasses would at least start diversifying when shit tickets run low. Baby wipes, bidets, bumbaclots, whatever.

The US's response is shit so far. Where I live has several cases all surrounding me, with an expected triple or more by this weekend. Anyone wanna start placing bets who in the US quarantines first and for how long?

NYC - Two weeks extended to three months. Yankee Wuhan 2.0

BRB going to costume shop to stock up on plague doctor masks.

Badder than bad.

Some of it is a result of automated trading. These systems are pessimistic and designed to avoid losses. There's a cumulative effect that can't be denied. The market will rally tomorrow, stocks will come back as people decide to get in on deals.

The yield curve is a different thing. It means bonds - where investors put their money when stocks are crazy - are not guaranteeing a profit. The 10 year bond has been less than 1% for a while, now all bonds are less than 1% interest.

That's never happened before. I'm trying to find out what's causing it, I'm not positive I know who controls the rates.

Can they even get masks? If not, then public health messages need to be telling people how to improvise them.

It's also not the first pandemic in over a century. Hong Kong flu killed between 1 and 4 million people from 1968-1970. Before that was the Asian flu pandemic in the late 1950s and since then we've also had the H1N1 pandemic of 2009.
 
Just ordered a bulk order of toilet paper from Amazon, because it was actually on my grocery list of regular things I needed to restock. The order will last us for a good chunk of the year. Wasn't planning to get a signifiant amount like I did, but the price was too good and I figured "why not."

I'm posting this because Amazon warned me before ordering that the box it will be delievered in will say what the product is on the outside, and they offered to deliver it as a gift for free as a way to hide that I'm getting toilet paper.

I guess people be stealing toilet paper from doorsteps now. Lovely. I fucking hate the news media and the mass hysteria it loves to generate.

No, I bought mines more than a month ago and suppliers all over the country were already out of stocks.
So of course, a lot of people are operating on motivated reasoning at best, but most of it is just pure stupidity.

And no, the Swiss authorities are not telling a single word about masks in their public guidelines.
 
Watching the live broadcast from the WH on the coronavirus and market shit storm. If I was concerned yesterday, this bunch of monkeys who just told us not to worry have my full backing for next week to be far worse than this week.

If you're a betting man and think this is going to get better before worse, than spend your money on brain cells instead.

There isn't a single, named source anywhere in this entire story, so you can ram it right back up your ass you panic-mongering ink-shitter. I've really had my fill of these anonymously-sourced stories after nearly four straight years of it, and not a single one of them has turned up so much as a whiff of truth to them. It should be legal to shove these people into the dumpster where their garbage opinions and made-up stories belong.
Is he not taking this serious enough or is he a paranoid germaphobe melting down over a little coof? My source, an anonymous anime fairy girl who lives in my rectum, tells me that Drumpf thinks god is punishing him for not gassing the trannies fast enough. The intelligence community went for 4chan's pee story so I don't see why journos wouldn't believe me.
 
Reading between the lines a little bit, but there's a game of telephone going on here.

Conservatives are trying to suggest coronavirus is not a big deal, getting tested doesn't matter. The reality is they have been tested.

Yeah it sucks because like everything else in the US from Star Wars movies to peanut butter to 'abortions, there must be a Correct Left and Correct Right Opinion. Now there is on Corona Chan.

From what Trump has said to that idiot in the gas mask to Rush and Hannity, the party line is Just A Flu, you're a carefag if you worry. Totes fake like global warming.

Not to get all Election Discussion, but I'd say it's worry over a tanked economy fucking over Trump in the general.

But this is why I discount govt and mainstream media sources-they often have an agenda. Which is why I read this thread. I'd rather see unedited primary sources and make up my own mind.
 
7 year old girl in Bronx with coronavirus (archive)
Not sure if she was in that hospital I posted about before or had staff come to the girls house to test, but I wouldn't be surprised with the nurses frantically asking for hazmat suits yesterday (in a department that doesn't carry them dumbfucks), though looking up other cases in that area I think I was wrong about it being the first. Weird because I never heard anything on TV or saw articles until right now I hate the jewish media fuck you
If she dies then it's officially time to freak out.
 
So apologies if this topic came up before (likely did, but the thread just moves too fast for me at times), but considering the horrible reports from Italy posted above, how is it that Corona-chan is slaughtering hundreds in Italy but Germany is still getting away with barely any dead? I know, Italy has an older population and worse healthcare, but the discrepancy is still striking.
 
Canada has it's first death and there are now 76 cases. I haven't been able to keep up as the numbers just keep climbing every hour or so.

COVID-19: B.C. announces Canada’s first coronavirus death


British Columbia has announced the first COVID-19-related death in the country, along with five new cases of the virus.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said the man is one of two people at a North Vancouver care home who was diagnosed with the virus last week.

Henry said the patient, a man in his 80s with underlying health conditions, passed away Sunday night.
